“What the theatre has given me: the ability to escape from a small, narrow, strict world to join one that is inexhaustible and multiple, one that combines literature, poetry, politics and history. This is the theatre we work on every day, to transmit it to young audiences.”
ÉRIC RUF
Being accessible to as many people as possible, in France and abroad, is one of the Comédie-Française’s fundamental missions. Alongside tours, all channels of dissemination are used to present its emblematic shows as well as productions designed for specific media.
Pathé Live – broadcasting live to more than 300 cinemas
The Comédie-Française is pursuing and extending its collaboration with Pathé Live. In the framework of this partnership, several plays from the season are screened in cinemas, live from the Salle Richelieu followed by repeat screenings at later dates. Along with the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow and the Metropolitan Opera in New York, the Comédie-Française is part of the opera/ballet/theatre triptych proposed by Pathé Live on more than 300 screens throughout France and worldwide (reaching 50 countries). This scheme makes it possible it to reach out to all audiences in France and abroad, thanks to a network of locally embedded cinemas, and to bring the Troupe in close contact with the public. For this third season, close to 100,000 spectators were able to discover its productions of Lucrèce Borgia, Twelfth Night or What You Will and Électre/Oreste. Furthermore, in January 2019, Cyrano de Bergerac was given an exception screening in 316 cinemas in the United States. Accompanied by a significant body of educational documentation, this scheme also enables a very large school audience to see our productions and to enrich their experience thanks to the resources made available on the Comédie-Française and Pathé Live sites.
